Ian Wright and Roy Keane Disagree on Conor Bradley's Performance vs Real Madrid

Conor Bradley delivered an impressive performance for Liverpool on Tuesday, marking a strong return as he faced Vinicius Jr during their Champions League victory over Real Madrid. Despite the win, opinions on his display differ between pundits Ian Wright and Roy Keane.

Liverpool's Crucial Victory

Arne Slot’s team secured an important win in the Champions League thanks to Alexis Mac Allister’s sole goal against the 15-time European champions. The Reds, needing a vital three points, achieved this on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return to Anfield.

Conor Bradley's Impact

Replacing the 27-year-old Alexander-Arnold, Bradley stood out with a resilient defensive performance. Ian Wright praised him for his ability to contain Vinicius Jr, highlighting his quality against such a challenging winger:

“That’s why you want to see him up against a winger like that because that then takes him to another place, he did everything last night. He was fantastic to watch.”

Liverpool academy graduate Bradley earned admiration from Jeremie Frimpong as well, who noted how Bradley “locked up” Vinicius throughout the match.

Roy Keane’s Criticism

However, Roy Keane expressed concerns about Bradley’s contribution in attacking areas. Keane pointed out the defender’s limited impact in the final third during Liverpool’s win over Real Madrid.

Recent Form

Bradley is steadily returning to top form, following strong performances not only against Real Madrid but also earlier against Aston Villa.
